Board Election Results

Ronda made this Official Information request to Naenae College

Currently waiting for a response from Naenae College, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Ronda

Dear Naenae College,

I am writing to request the results of the recent triennial school board election. Specifically, I would like to know the names of the elected candidates, the number of valid votes cast for each candidate, and the number of invalid votes cast.

Schools are required give written notice to the Secretary for Education of election results, therefore the Ministry of Education may also hold this information.

I noticed that many nearby schools proactively release such results on their social media platforms. Additionally, I observed that you recently posted the results of the student and staff election on Facebook. However, this post did not comply with Section (26)(5) of the Education (Board Elections) Regulations 2022, which requires the inclusion of "the number of valid votes cast for each candidate" and "the number of invalid votes cast."

Yours faithfully,

Ronda
